Amaranta Penate-Marty , LPC

Amaranta Penate-Marty, LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor), is a bilingual and bicultural psychotherapist who approaches clinical work as a calling rather than a job. She helps people recognize how patterns of thinking shape emotions and behavior, and she supports practical steps toward healthier, more satisfying lives. With more than 11 years of clinical experience, her training covers trauma, depression, anxiety and other mood or personality conditions, as well as grief and substance use concerns.

Fluent in English and Spanish, she brings an understanding of both North American and Hispanic cultural perspectives, which can be especially helpful for couples and families navigating language or cultural barriers. She adapts evidence-informed techniques to each person’s unique context, treating every client as an individual rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model.

Her approach emphasizes acceptance and collaboration, inviting people who are motivated to change to engage in therapy as a space for learning and growth. Amaranta integrates clinical skills with cultural sensitivity to help clients build coping strategies, repair relationships, and move forward after loss or trauma.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Options with Amaranta

Amaranta often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress-related difficulties. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills for people struggling with intense emotions or relationship challenges. In addition, Mindfulness Therapy offers practices that help ground attention in the present moment and develop acceptance-based coping for ongoing worry, grief, or burnout.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Amaranta works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to identify the best fit based on a person’s goals, history, and preferences, and she adapts methods as needs evolve.

Online therapy makes these approaches accessible through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for scheduling and for connecting from different locations. These formats allow therapists and clients to maintain continuity of care, balance therapy with daily responsibilities, and use tools that suit each person’s comfort and communication style.
